Walters will embark
Walters will embark on his longest journey yet when he heads up to the fifth annual Green Drive Expo July 17-18 in Madison, Wis., where he's sure to have one of the more eye-catching vehicles. He'll easily make the 125-mile trip without having to plug in and recharge.
"It's partly about wanting to save the planet for future generations and partly about having a lot of fun," Walters said. "Some critics say plugging in requires coal fire plants, but it's a heck of a lot greener than something that belches carbon dioxide out the end."
Walters first spotted the Tesla on a clip of "Jay Leno's Garage" on TV in June 2008 and promptly flew out to California to buy one with custom features including electric-blue paint, black rims and a plastic armor coating that doesn't chip.
Fourteen months later, crews delivered Walters' Tesla, which gets about 245 miles per charge. He's been trying not to speed and hitting local green gatherings ever
berson since, including membership in the Fox Valley Electric Auto Association.
